The team have raced the last two seasons in Formula E, with Sam Bird, Jake Hughes and Taylor Barnard taking them to seventh in the teams' standings in the 2023/24 season, with Bird claiming the outfit's first race victory in the series at the Sao Paulo E-Prix.

Bird and 20-year-old Brit Barnard will continue to try to take the team forward in 2024/25, with the pair being confirmed to be racing the upcoming season with NEOM McLaren.

Now, the outfit have unveiled their new car for the 2024/25 season, with some huge changes made to the design of the car.

The start of the GEN3 Evo era in the sport is set to see the fastest-accelerating single-seater FIA car seen in any series, with the all-electric series also making changes to minimise their impacts on the environment even further.

The livery of NEOM McLaren's Formula E challenger features prominently the papaya colouring that has become synonymous with the brand's racing teams around the world.
